I like that you have the attitude of pushing on through, even though it’s tough! One thing it’s important to never forget what it was like for you before you went on suboxone. Remember how hopeless and helpless you felt and how using was jacking up the rest of your life. I think my fellow member, Amber, calls it, "thinking it through to the logical end". If you start craving and thinking about how nice it would be to use, make sure that you follow through to where that first use ended you up. Make sure that every time you crave, you remember hitting bottom or somewhere close. Addiction is going to try to trick you into thinking how easy it would be to use. Your job is to remember reality. You can do that!
